Expert | High on |
SportsLine | Alex Bowman |
Alex Bowman is not among the favorites to win this weekend, but that’s not stopping SportsLine from feeling good about his chances at EchoPark Texas Grand Prix. Bowman, who is currently priced +1800 to win the race in Austin, already has two wins on the season, both coming in his past five starts. Bowman won the TOYOTA OWNERS 400 at Richmond Raceway back in April then resurfaced to the top again last week by topping the Drydene 400 at the Dover International Speedway.
Action Network
Expert | Confident in |
PJ Walsh | A.J. Allmendinger, Chase Briscoe |
PJ Walsh of the Action Network named two drivers with relatively long odds, but have the potential to return high value. These two are A.J. Allmendinger and Chase Briscoe, who have odds of +2200 and +8000, respectively, at TopBet Sportsbook. Allmendinger has a win and three top 5s in 22 career road course starts. As for Briscoe, Walsh draws confidence from the fact that this driver has had success in the road course during his XFINITY Series days.

Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Ryan Blaney (+1400) in our preview of the 2021 EchoPark Texas Grand Prix race:
“Blaney is coming off a 12th-place finish in the Drydene 400, but he’s cracked the top 10 in two of his past five starts. He went ninth in Talladega and eighth at Darlington. What’s more pertinent to his chances of winning this weekend is the fact that he has a career average finish of 13.31 in 13 road course starts, including his win in the 2018 Bank of America ROVAL 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course.”
